30 Years of Super Bowl Halftime Performers

Until the 90s, the Super Bowl halftime show was usually just a marching band. All that changed when Tampa hosted the Super Bowl in 1991. The New Kids on the Block performed a medley of their hits. But very few actually saw the performance because most saw a news break update about the Gulf War.
Since then a bunch of our Q105 Saturday Night Dance Party legends tore it up at halftime… you job this week is to pick one to kick off the show this Saturday night!
